Chen Xiaobei followed Su Xiaoman's finger and asked, "Where are they going?"

He was referring to Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiao who had supposedly left yesterday after the incident at the store.

Du Tiannan was walking shoulder to shoulder with the Black Tortoise imperial city tycoon Zhu Youfu, addressing him as uncle, in a very intimate and friendly way.

Yun Ziqiao had employed her good looks to strike up a conversation with the equipment crafting master's son Jiang Songtao! Whenever she had a chance, she would exchange glances at him; probably even having the mind to make an intimate move!

"Zhu Youfu was worth a few billion, and the Jiang family's assets was worth over ten billion. Either one of them can cause us major trouble during the auction!" Su Xiaoman said worriedly.

"That's very likely…" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "But the auction is about to start. I don't have time to alter the situation. We just have to be cautious every step of the way!"

"I thought you always think three steps ahead?" Su Xiaoman pouted. 

"I did." Chen Xiaobei said impatiently. "This happened so suddenly. I'm no prophet. How could I have predicted that this would happen?"

"That's true…" Su Xiaoman nodded.

"Childe Chen! Ms. Su!" Master Liu Si greeted with a broad smile on his face. "The auction is going to start soon! I've already arranged two VIP seats for you. You can go in now!"

"Let's go…" Chen Xiaobei nodded.

...

Under Liu Si's lead, they made their way quickly to the auction.

The Yellow Wind black market auction was conducted in a natural annular cave.

Considering its mediocre size, it could only seat about three hundred people.

Those who attended the auction were all affluent men and women. Unless they had a net worth of 500 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones, they would not have been allowed to enter the venue!

The combined buying power of these three hundred attendees far exceeded the three thousand who attended the auction in Black Tortoise imperial city.

As usual, Liu Si was being very hospitable.

"Please, please take a seat!" he chimed.

Once Chen Xiaobei and Su Xiaoman were seated, Liu Si had his boys bring them tea and dim sum.

"Liu Si, you go ahead and do what you need to do. Don't worry about us!" Chen Xiaobei waved him away.

"There's no rush, Childe Chen. I need to talk to you first!" Liu Si leaned in and whispered, "I reserved these two seats in secret. Actually, only guests with 1 billion or above of medium-grade Spiritual Stones are allowed to sit here… So, if people do talk to you later, you have to pretend you're very rich! If the beans are spilled, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"

Liu Si saw how young Chen Xiaobei was, and deduced that he could not possibly possess wealth over one billion medium-grade Spiritual Stones. As a precaution, he gave Chen Xiaobei a heads-up just in case.

"Alright." Chen Xiaobei nodded.

Liu Si continued, "Also, please don't simply call out during the auction. If you can't pay up, your cultivation will be destroyed and be banished forever from this place!"

A smiling Su Xiaoman nodded. "Don't worry! We won't do that!"

Like Liu Si, Su Xiaoman did not think that Chen Xiaobei could have amassed so many Spiritual Stones.

Nevertheless, Chen Xiaobei was not bothered to correct them. "Liu Si, did something happen? You're here, aren't you? Why do we have to be so polite?"

"You're right!" Liu Si lowered his voice even further. "The old master will be today. I have to behave myself!"

"He rarely comes, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"Not rarely, he practically never comes!" Liu Si said. "He's probably here today because of Qin Yitian!"

"Qin Yitian is that powerful huh?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

Liu Si nodded. "Qin Yitian is powerful but the Qin Family is even more powerful! The old master had always wanted to expand his black market business in Vermillion Phoenix. If the Qin Family gives them the green light, then it would be easier for us to manage the black market!"

Ding Ring Ring!!

Liu Si's phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at his phone, his face scrunched up immediately.

"Old master is here! I have to go welcome him! Remember what I told you. Don't break any rules!" Liu Si reminded them before leaving.

After a few minutes, all the seats at the auction were completely filled.

As expected, Du Tiannan sat next to Zhu Youfu on the opposing side, whereas Yun Ziqiao seated himself next to Jiang Songtao in the VIP seats right in front of Chen Xiaobei.

Wounds open when meeting enemies. They had only just taken their seats when Du Tiannan and Yun Ziqiao began unabashedly pointing fingers at Chen Xiaobei. Even an idiot could tell that they were badmouthing Chen Xiaobei.

Regardless, Chen Xiaobei was unperturbed.

Su Xiaoman, on the other hand, was getting agitated. "Childe Chen, do you have a plan in mind? What if they compete against you when you're bidding for the Black Water Stone? You might lose!"

"I haven't thought of anything yet," replied Chen Xiaobei as he shook his head. "Even if they don't compete against me, there are still many who would love to get their hands on the Black Water Stone… it sure won't be cheap…"

"Then what should we do?" Su Xiaoman nervously chewed on a nail. "What if you don't have enough Spiritual Stones to buy the Black Water Stone? It's going to be really difficult to find another one!"

"I know… It's not an ideal situation isn't it…" Chen Xiaobei said. "But we can only wait and see."

"Wait for what?" Su Xiaoman asked.

At that moment, a commotion was spreading from the door of the auction into the entire cave.

"Hey, look! Isn't that elderly gentleman the owner of the black market? Liu Si looks like a little eunuch next to him!"

"Yeah! That is the master behind the scenes of Yellow Wind black market! Heaven Dominating Faction's core elder and self-titled, Xuankong Zhenren*! Liu Si is just the guard dog who looks after the old man's house!"

"Who is that girl next to Xuankong Zhenren? She's so pretty! But… somehow, she makes me really uncomfortable!"

"Are you serious? You don't know the famous Qin Yitian?"

"She… She's that Heaven Dominating Faction's core disciple? Vermillion Phoenix Qin Family's number one prodigy? Qin Yitian?"

"Yes! That's her! You better don't stare at her like that! She might just claw your eyes out!"

"No, she won't… This is Yellow Wind black market! Would she dare to fight here?"

"She doesn't have to do it herself. She just needs to say the word and Xuankong Zhenren will fight for her!"

"This woman is too powerful… Better not mess with her…."

...

The chatters continued until Xuankong Zhenren and Qin Yitian walked up to the VIP seats in the center of the room.

Xuankong Zhenren raised a hand, and the noise was instantly hushed.

"The auction begins now!"
